Is the hissing loud. I don't hear anything when I put my phone to my ear randomly. Like if I'm on fb or something. So idk

Buzzing / static sound coming from back of new iPhone 7 Plus

So I went to Apple today and they put in a order for me so hopefully I'm getting a week 38-39 since they had to order it due to no stock, the Genius was on a FaceTime call with engineers at Apple and they got to hear the sound and deemed that it seems like the microphone is overly sensitive and doesn't pick up the sounds right in front of it and therefore is defective so together they decided to replace my device with a fresh 7 Plus.
I went to the Apple Store Wednesday and the genius there ordered a replacement for me. Replacement received today but it's week 36, my original phone is week 37. Definitely still has the hissing sound that I can hear when the phone is on the table face up restoring from backup. I'll have to try and see if it's interfering with calls and video/music playback before deciding what to do next.
On a side note, the replacement is brighter than my original one. Still warmer than the display phones at the store though.
I guess you guys are right that I should just wait maybe a few months before exchanging again.

I'm sorry but the people here are unbelievable. I've seen this same behavior before with previous launches and it's not healthy. Swapping phone after phone for an issue that may not even be an issue. And let's not forget that trolls may have infiltrated the thread and are confusing you people even more. I'm seeing 2 different issues in one thread. You people need to get a grip on reality or like this person said, return the phone and wait for something more official. At minimum wait closer to the return policy and just enjoy the phone for the time being.
Mine came in today and it definitely makes the hissing. I don't know what week it belongs to though...Anyways, thinking about going to an Apple Store tomorrow and just ask for a new one
Everything. It starts from the moment I wake the phone up until moments after it sleeps again.
How many days did it take?

No, no! The thing is...this is not happening to everyone, so I might as well just try another one and see what happens
How do you hear the hissing? I'm so confused on the hissing and mic feedback on video
Just run speedtest. I just did a comparison between my 6S+ and 7+. Both make a bit of noise when running benchmark, but the 7 is definitely much louder in the coil whine. The screen is also a disappointment, my 6S+ is just as bright as the 7+ screen.
7 should be brighter on direct sun with auto brightness on. With auto brightness on and bright light it's go beyond 100% in settings.
I don't get how putting ear to back of phone is a issue lol who does that on a daily and how does it affect
The only real problem that it ruins sound on videos.

Have you tried record video during wifi transfer like apps or music downloads?
again for some people, not all people who have a hiss have issues in audio or video, so don't generalize it all
5 days. The phone was manufactured the previous week.

It was very obvious on my previous 7 Plus. No longer the case. Not sure what gives.
